ALEX Ferlazzo’s message to the world after his debut Winter Olympics is to “watch this space.”

Ferlazzo had mixed emotions after his competition, happy to have done well but not satisfied with his final two runs, but has set his sights on the next Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea in 2018.

“There’s four years to go until the next Olympics and I’m only 18 now,” Ferlazzo told Olympics.com.au

“I’ll be 22 then … watch this space.

“PyeongChang is the goal. That’s the long-term goal. There are a lot of short-term goals in between including getting a lot stronger, a bit heavier and a lot faster, having a lot better equipment and a lot more training.”
